The Sun October 1

In white light with an Orion solar filter.

Saw something odd while looking through the eyepiece. There was a dark object in silhouette streaking across the Sun's face. I suppose it could have been a number of things from insects to birds or whatever but it seemed to vanish before it reached the limb. It showed no detail and was pin point in apparent size. Could it have been a meteor?
